Stocks for the week of 5 Jan 09

I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. I'm back from the holidays and have moved into the new house. Here are the stocks that are passing at least three of my five filters, for the week of Jan 5. There are were no IBD supply/demand this week, because they publish the list on Thursdays, and last Thursday was New Year's. (There were no supply/demand stocks in previous weeks, so this will not have a great impact on the model.)

The Market remains in Red Light mode according to the 1-2-3 model. The Inflation Model is tilting back toward neutral, and has moved to a negative one inflation star ("deflation"). It is moved to less-extreme deflation because the Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) index has slowed its descent.

We moved into the new house, thanks to the help of A LOT of kind people in our church. So it was a busman's holiday for me, installing a shower door, setting up beds, hanging artwork, installing a firewall, and learning how to wire up CAT 5. (BTW, use the 568-B scheme; it's much more common.)
